Zulema Naegele, M .Ed .  \nRebecca Smith, M.Ed.  \nUniversity of Portland  \nAbstract  \nThere has been a recent shift in university-district partnership models from traditional transactional partnerships, which lack a shared purpose, to transformational partnerships that are mutually beneficial to both universities and school districts. These transformational research-practice partnerships have gained popularity in the United States as a means of extending university research resources. To date, limited research has investigated the impact of district-driven research on the community. This qualitative study helps fill that gap by examining the impacts of one newly formed research-practice partnership on district stakeholders. Our findings suggest that authentic district-driven research projects have the potential to provide rigorous and timely research deliverables for school district partners in the community through the production of public scholarship. The themes that emerged suggest that these projects can both meet the district needs in an era of dwindling budgets and can result in a change of practice.  \nKeywords: research-practice partnerships, transformational partnerships, liberal arts education  \nAILACTE Journal 59  \nRalston, Weitzel, Waggoner, Naegele, and Smith  \nThroughout the past two decades, independent liberal arts institutions have remained integral parts of their communities, sharing strong values and goals congruent with the community needs and with their university missions. Liberally trained educators are dedicated to creating an educated society and promoting equitable access for all students; they promote learning by utilizing best practices and making decisions based on evidence. Thus, it is natural for liberal arts universities to develop formal partnerships with local schools, and the role of these partnerships between universities and school districts has been gaining national and state interest. Even the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), which oversees the accrediting of educator preparation providers (EPPs) in the United States, adopted in 2013 as one ofits five new standards for EPP accreditation, a standard that is focused on partnerships between universities and school districts. Specifically, CAEP’s Standard 2 clearly states that EPPs must develop “effective partnerships” in which “partners co-construct mutually beneficial P–12 school and community arrangements”(Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, 2015, para. 2) .  \nUniversity-district partnerships are abundant across the United States; however, they are most commonly traditional transactional partnerships, in which the institutions pursue their own goals without a shared purpose. These traditional partnerships usually have one or more of the following three goals: (a) to educate and prepare future teachers and administrators; (b) to provide professional development experiences for current teachers and administrators; and,(c) to collaborate in conducting university-driven research projects (Coburn, Penuel, & Geil, 2013; Holen & Yunk, 2014) .  \nThese transactional partnerships are certainly necessary and evolve from some individual need (i.e., universities need student teaching placements or districts need professional development providers); however, the missions of liberal arts institutions, as well as CAEP’s new standards, are also calling for developing more mutually beneficial partnerships. This shift from transactional partnerships to more transformational partnerships focuses on building common goals and mutual benefits among stakeholders (Butcher,  \n60 AILACTE Volume XIII Fall 2016  \nThe Partnership Pact  \nBezzina, & Moran, 2011; Orr, 2006, 2011) .
